Europe is struggling more and more with extreme heat in the summer. While climate change is the main reason for this increase, what specific physical mechanisms cause a heat wave? One important driver ...

Researchers at Utrecht University report that, in high-resolution ocean simulations, an abrupt northward shift of the Gulf Stream near Cape Hatteras precedes a modeled collapse of the Atlantic ...

The South China Sea (SCS), a vital marine region supporting rich biodiversity, productive fisheries, and extensive coral reefs, faces growing threats from marine heat waves (MHWs). While surface MHWs ...

Sunglint occurs when sunlight reflects off the ocean at the same angle satellites observe it, producing mirror-like images while affecting ocean color measurements.

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, ...
